APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Councilman Al Roberts made a motion to approve the
June 17, 1997 meeting minutes. Councilman Dan Oster seconded the motion and it
was approved unanimously.
APPROVAL OF THE SECOND QUARTER 1997 REPORT TO THE PEOPLE:
Councilman Dan Oster made a motion to approve the second quarter 1997 Report to
the People. Councilman Al Roberts seconded the motion and it was approved
unanimously.
ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA: There were no additions to the agenda.
CORRESPONDENCE: The Council reviewed the correspondence. Copies of Weld
County's Annual Financial Report dated 12/31/96 were given to Council members.
COORDINATOR REPORTS:
Annexation of Weld County Roads
Councilman Dan Oster reported his research into the matter of municipalities annexing
Weld County roads. He explained that the Board of County Commissioners petitions
for a town to annex a County road when the annexation is requested by a municipality.
According to the public record, as in the recent case of Weld County Road 22, it
appears that the County Commissioners initiate the annexation request. In the future it
is possible that the County Commissioners would change the procedure to ask the town
to hold a public meeting about such annexations. (It appears now that the
Commissioners are initiating the entire annexation process which is not the case.)

NEW BUSINESS:
Board of County Commissioners Ordinance 196
Councilman Al Roberts reported that the use of the term "Council" in Commissioners'
Ordinance 196 should actually have read "County Commissioners." Councilman
Roberts had questioned the use of the term "Council" in Ordinance 196 at the July 14
Elected Officials meeting. After consultation with County Attorney Bruce Barker it was
determined that the use of "Council" was a typographical error.
Council members had questions regarding the facts of Commissioners' Ordinance 196.
Councilman Al Roberts will research Council members' questions about
Commissioners' Ordinance 196 before the August County Council meeting.
The County Council receiving a copy of all Commissioner resolutions or ordinances
regarding Weld County indebtedness was discussed. Councilman Ralph Campbell
asked that a request to the County Commissioners to receive all such resolutions and
ordinances be placed on the August Weld County Council agenda.

composing a thank you letter and ordering a plaque to thank Mr. Anderson for the
Council's use of his 1932 Ford in the Greeley Stampede Parade. The plaque should
include a photo of the automobile. Councilman Dan Oster seconded the motion and it
carried unanimously.
